A Seattle Institution

The Virginia Inn is a historic bar and restaurant located next to Pike Place Market. It first opened in 1903, predating the Market itself, and has operated for well over a century as one of the city’s classic gathering spots.

The V.I. — as it’s known to regulars — remains a beloved part of Seattle’s restaurant scene. A casual, storied place where Market visitors and longtime patrons alike can enjoy Pacific Northwest inspired cuisine as well as classic pub far in a uniquely Seattle setting.

A dining table set for four with four wine glasses, white cloth napkins, a small table lamp, against wooden-paneled walls with a bottle collection on a shelf above.
Fried fish and chips with lemon wedge, tartar sauce, and a glass of beer on a dark marble table.
